Saul Gone

Breaking Bad was the best show ever, and Better Call Saul did everything better, start to finish.

Some fans will hate this finale (see the other reviews), but it pretty much played out exactly as fans predicted on the Reddit threads which, here, is a good thing. They didn't pull out anysubversion. Instead, it payed off every thread that's been set up since season 1 that hasn't yet been tied.

The episode had a great framing device about regrets which has been a prevailing since the first episode where Gene looks back at his old commercials. The show plays out like a tragedy about the slow demise of Jimmy McGill facilitated by a slew of avoidable mistakes. The series finale does a stellar job reflecting on that and ties it all together wonderfully.

The final shot caught me off guard but the more I let it sink in, the more I appreciate the subtle and poetic nature of the ending.

Great callbacks to previous seasons as well. Overall, extremely well done and one of the best episodes of the series.

This episode was just the perfect ending to this perfect show. But I'm not gonna talk about the spoiler stuff that happened in this finale, I'll dedicate this finale's review to the appreciation of the whole show.

This show proves that when you have brilliant writers like Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan, even a spin-off can be better than the original, and not just a spin-off of a decent show, a spin-off of a masterpiece that many consider to be the best tv show of all time. It's not an easy task but they nail it.

Watching this show after Breaking Bad, it becomes obvious to you how much their writing, which is brilliant enough before, has gotten even better and how masterfully every minute of this show is written. And this is the reason why I consider Better Call Saul to be better than Breaking Bad and be one of, if not the best show ever. It's the best show I've seen yet anyway.

Everything in this show is just brilliant, the writing, direction, acting, amazing editing, and transitions.

The acting from pretty much everyone in this show is just top-notch. Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Jonathan Banks, Patrick Fabian, Michael McKean, Tony Dalton, Michael Mando, and of course Giancarlo Esposito are all just amazing in this show. Rhea Seehorn has got to be one of the best actresses I've ever seen and her acting in this show is just Godly. Bob Odenkirk is just brilliant in this show and just like Walter White, we see him evolve - more like devolve - in this show and he even goes further than WW/Heisenberg and gives us three completely different characters for one person. Michael Mando gives his best performance in this show and he's great too.

Tony Dalton's Lalo is just an iconic and legendary character and probably the best villain in both BB and BCS that will never be forgotten. And it says a lot about the brilliant writing of this show that no matter in what movie or show you've seen these actors before, when you watch BB and BCS, these actors forever will be Walter, Jesse, Saul, Mike, Howard, Kim, Gus, and Lalo to you. It doesn't matter if you've seen Lalo's actor in 20 movies and shows before, after watching even the first 3 episodes he's in, you'll just remember the actor as "Lalo" forever. That's how brilliant the writing of these characters and the actors that portray them are.

It is just simply unbelievable what they have achieved and created by just a throwaway line in Breaking Bad and how they wrote Lalo and Nacho in this show.

I cannot lick the balls of the writing of this show enough.

This show might be slow burn compared to Breaking Bad, but it's as, or even more engaging than Breaking Bad. The brilliant editing, transitions, and montages, as well as the great cinematography just make this show 10x better.

The music might not be as noticeably good or memorable as the music Ramin Djawadi did for GOT or does for Westworld, but it is still a great soundtrack and makes the scenes better.

This show is more of a character study than an action-packed adrenaline-fueled show like Breaking Bad, but that's what makes it so good.

This show will go down as one of the, if not the best shows in history, and we will probably never get a drama show as brilliantly written, acted, directed, and edited as this show.

This show was never ment to go out like your usual TV show! Instead it is a thought-provoking experience that will leave you thinking and admiring the journey of the characters!

Personally i cant imagine a different finale! Overall i am sad that one of the best written TV shows has come to an end! It never felt like a spin-off or prequel but became its own thing!

Saul Goodman also turned into one of the best written characters on TV along with Walter White and Eren Yeager!

The show ends on a note that fits Better Call Saul perfectly, it's not flashy or bold, it's poignant and makes you think about how far everything has gone for all these characters, the ending will take a lot of time to unpack for me personally, but it was suitable.
